To explore whether PATZ1 inhibits EMT and induces the reverse process, mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET), also in NSCLC, we first analyzed the expression of PATZ1 and the EMT master genes CDH1 (E-cadherin) and VIM (Vimentin) in NSCLC tissues. Here, CDH1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
